DRY TYPE PILLAR FIRE HYDRANTS

FEATURES
• NAFFCO Fire Hydrants are designed to comply with ANSI/AWWA
C502.
• Dry barrel design eliminates damage to the hydrant caused by
freezing of the upper part.
• NAFFCO Fire Hydrants are designed for high performance and
easy to install, maintain and repair.
• Excellent and proven flow characteristics.
• 2 x 2½” NH thread connectors for soft hose connection.
• 1 x 4½” NH thread pumper connection for fire trucks.
• 6” inlet connection complying to mechanical joint ANSI/AWWA C111/
A21.11 or flange connection ASME B16.5 Class 150.
• Operation threads are corrosion protected and for easy operation.
• NAFFCO fire hydrants are high pressure rated to 250 psi compatible
with today’s trends.
• Internal epoxy paint system gives high corrosion protection to
hydrants.
• Advanced safety couplings and flange design reduces traffic
damage to hydrant.
• Main valve is easily removed from either the bonnet flange or
ground line flange.

DESIGN FEATURES
• Body Material: Ductile Iron.
• Nominal Pressure 250 psi., Test Pressure: 500 psi.
• O-ring sealed flanges at the bonnet ground line and shoe simplify
maintenance by eliminating gasket adhesion at these points,
making disassembly easier. The O-rings are easier than flat gaskets
to position during reassembly, and provide superior pressure
handling.
• Hold-down nut - features integral weather seal. Prevents
unauthorized removal of hold-down nut or operating nut. Resilient
wiper seal prevents water entry and protects from freezing; material
resistant to sunlight deterioration. O-ring provides second level seal.
• Safety flange - breaks cleanly to help prevent barrel damage, but
strong enough to withstand normal handling. Allows economical
repair, adding of extension section, rotation or changing of upper
barrel without excavation.
• Full flow openings - large, smooth radius hose and pumper openings
reduce friction loss.

Dry Barrel Hydrants
Hydrants are aboveground extensions of underground water mains, equipped with valves and/or connections for attaching fire hose.
On FM Approved models, the pressure containing parts are usually made of cast iron or ductile iron. The valve seat, valve guide and
other important working parts are usually made of bronze. A weather cap on the operating stem nut prevents the accumulation of ice,
which would cause the hydrant to bind. Hose nipples are threaded, leaded and pinned, or twist-locked and set-screwed into the
hydrant upper body.
The valve is opened or closed by a 15 in. (380 mm) long wrench fitted onto the operating stem nut. To prevent freezing, any water in
the hydrant barrel drains out at the bottom through a small valve which opens simultaneously as the hydrant is shut down after use.
The name of the manufacturer and the year of manufacture are cast on the barrel, as well as the working pressure and the depth of
bury line. On the bonnet, an arrow and the word "open" show the direction for opening the hydrant. The counterclockwise direction to
open is required. Hydrants with pumper connections are not recommended for installation within plant yards.
Plans for installation of hydrants should be forwarded to your insurance company for review prior to installation. In particular, plans
should be submitted if the hose and/or outlet connections are different from those listed below.
FM Approved hydrants can usually be obtained with standardized mechanical joint inlet or flanged inlet connections. Other types of
inlet connection are mentioned in the specific manufacturer's listings. Hydrants should be anchored in accordance with FM Global
Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet 3-10 or equal.
Standard outlets are for 2 1⁄2 in. (64 mm ) hose size. Hydrants can be obtained with independent hose gate valves. Hydrant sizes
shown are the inside diameter of the main hydrant valve. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, the hydrants have 175 psi (1205 kPa)
rated working pressure.
Some hydrants, referred to as traffic types, have intentional sections of weakness near the ground line which fracture readily when
struck with sufficient force by a moving motor vehicle. They are used to minimize damage to the main hydrant valve and simplify
repairs.
Unless otherwise specified, the standard FM Approved hydrant inlet connection is 6 in. NPS.
